What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 525 closed sales in Stafford over the last six months, with a median closing price of $561,150. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.
Median home price in Stafford, VA (August 2026)
The median home price in Stafford is $561,150, measured across the 525 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.
The Stafford angle
Stafford County's growth has been driven by the Interstate 95 commute toward Washington and by the federal and military presence around Quantico. We tracked 525 closings over six months at a median of $561,150. The stock leans toward detached homes in subdivisions built from the 1990s onward, with newer sections continuing to fill in west of the interstate. Households with security clearances and stable federal-adjacent income form a meaningful part of the buyer pool, which gives the area a different rhythm from a purely private-sector suburb. Half of the tracked closings came in under $561,150.
From market read to offer price
A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Stafford address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
